But can anyone say what power is good for,On the twenty-first century scene,Or where we would be if all that it stood forIs to hit Afghans on the bean?

For 9-11 was a real instructionOn how our strength is quite small.Three buildings fell despite fine construction,But fear for a decade stayed tall.

Let's say it's declared by a fed-up Assad,"It's war against Trump's U.S.A.!"And tells al-Jazeera to expect a hit-squadIn cool Californi-ay.

"A rush-hour overpass or Internet farm,Will do for the message to send,Or just a virus that does serious harm,So they to this debate tend.

"This time around it's not war in some nationThat Yankees can't find on a map,This time around it'll be hell and tarnation,'Cause on American doors will we rap."

And when images go 'round of the fall of a bridgeOr airport computers run free,Americans will see that despite a full fridge,War just ain't what it used to be.

And point out to leaders that Syria's no-go:Their own darn shops they can run, And that goes for Iraq and the Afghani show,And now let's get back to our fun.

So I hope it's now clear about the strength blues:It does our adventures much rend.Power's just a word for nothin' left to lose,If we're on the bomb's business end.
